One of my favorites, on SpringerLink:

I can see why they changed the title!

Each has a separate URL and page on SpringerLink, but they link to one
another.

Annual Reviews, on the other hand: I remember that they put all issues under
the current title, essentially obscuring title change history.

For example:

*Annual review of ecology and systematics*  (0066-4162)    More full text

           from 1996 to 2002 in Annual Reviews Complete A-Z
